Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a liver disease caused by long-term excessive alcohol consumption and is one of the most common chronic liver diseases worldwide. At present, no effective approach is available for preventing or reversing this disease, causing a serious social burden and increasing the pressure for prevention and treatment. In recent years, researchers have found that long-term alcohol abuse can lead to significant changes in the structure and function of the gut microbiota, thereby disrupting the balance of the gut microbiota, which can promote the progression of ALD. Therefore, maintaining gut microbiota balance can provide new targets for the prevention and treatment of ALD. This article reviews the research and intervention progress of the gut microbiota and its metabolites in ALD in recent years, providing reference for future studies on the pathogenesis and treatment of this disease.
